A. Research: Archival collections provide resources for scholars and researchers studying government and history by strengthening and augmenting existing collections in the fields of New Mexico government and history.

(1) Exhibits may be prepared from private collections and displayed in the archives.

(2) Documents from private collections may also be loaned to other institutions for exhibition with the approval of the commission.

(3) Reproductions and duplicates of documents from private collections may be used for exhibits outside the agency with permission of the administrator.
